Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 nne I wanted to comment on your vestibulectomy and your success. I have also had that surgery and had very little success. I am still in great pain today almost a year after surgery. I am so happy that the surgery worked for you but it is not a solution for all women. I hope you continue to get better. kara Moody friends. Drama queens. Your life? Nope! - their life, your story. Play Sims Stories at Yahoo! Games.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 perhaps you both could describe more specifically what type of pain you have/had? isn't it known to be more helpful for certain types of pain? julie > > nne > > I wanted to comment on your vestibulectomy and your success.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi Kara, I am so sorry that you are still in so much pain – it must be awful for you. It is a horrible condition – one of the absolute most debilitating things to have for a woman. I am sure you have gone back to your doctor to see if there is anything more they can do for you. As in all surgeries, not all are going to be success stories. I was scared to death to have it done because I had heard so many terrible stories about it. I was questioning my decision up until the very last day. However, my doctor kept telling me he had done hundreds of vestibulectomies and only a very, very few percentage did not work. So I listened to him, took a chance and had it done. And for me, it came out perfect – and I had a very severe case. I want women to know that they must talk to their doctors, have confidence in what they tell them and not to be afraid - not to listen to the bad stories. And when the pain is that bad, what do you have to loose. It can work – the good must be told along with the bad. nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I would like to know what strength of Lidocaine you used, and what specific pain symtoms you had. What other types of numbing creams are there? I have IC, and with going to the bathroom so much, it's very hard to keep any cream on. Any others here have IC? Along with my pudendal nerve surgery, I ALSO had a vestibulectomy. It turned out perfect – all my surface pain is now gone – I no longer have to use Lidocaine, or any other numbing creams. (I have a medicine cabinet full) The vestibulectomy surgery was painless (less than two weeks ago). I can't even feel where the stitching was done. The only reason I am mentioning this is to dispel all the awful vestibulectomy posts that have proliferated over the years. If you have VV pain, there is a solution – there is no reason to continue to suffer. It works – it really does. I don't know how much stronger that I can write this. If you want to talk about it further, please don't hesitate to email me privately. I can truly attest that this is a good surgery. In regards to my pudendal surgery, I will still have pain from Pudendal Neuropathy for a long time. Especially butt pain – I feel like I have been kicked by a horse!! Not from the surgery itself, but from the nerves healing. nne ----My situation is very much like yours. I had a partial vestibulectomy 4 years ago and I also have LS. I'm not perfect either but substantially improved! Sandy -- Visit me at http://www.homekeepermamaof3.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I would agree that the procedure is not for everyone. The highest success rates are for women who have primary VVS. Women with additional skin conditions like LS or LP will find relief from the VVS but not necessarily from the LS or LP. For me the pain of my VVS was worse than the LS which was fairly mild so the surgery was a big success for me even though I still have the LS. I think it also makes a huge difference in who preforms the surgery. Most of the horror stories I hear are women who had Desthetic Vulvodyina or Pudential Neurologia as their primary pain condition or who saw a surgeon who did not specialize in the vulvar vestibulectomy. The surgeon I saw only preformed vestibulectomies and have done several hundered of them with only a 5% failure rate. I was also able to talk to other women who had done the procedure with that surgeon. That made a huge difference in my decision making process.
